How hard can it be to find the perfect coffee/cocktail table?

Seriously?  How hard can it be?  I have looked and looked for several years now and just can't find anything that I love.  Nothing.

Everything is either too short, too tall, too modern, too ornate, not the right shape.  Whatever, they are just not the one I am looking for.

I am trying to put something in a room filled with antiques that are mostly all rosewood and mahogany. So new stuff doesn't really go and lots of old things are not the right scale.  I don't know how to explain it.  I just know that when I see it, I am going to snatch it up on the spot!

In addition to regularly scoping out the antique and consignment shops locally, I peruse the offerings on ebay on occasion.  Here are a few little gems that show up when you search ebay for "antique coffee cocktail table":

First up we have a very shiny brass number with black glass on not one but two shelves.

The next one was really weird.  They claim it was a glass and rosewood table.  It looked to me like something Fred and Wilma Flintstone would have had.

Then you won't even believe it but there was a wagon wheel table.  Is this really an antique?  Would you serve cocktails on this thing?  Can you look at it and NOT think of When Harry Met Sally?

The next one is not a table so much as a grouping of tables.  Now, if I had a really cool 1950s early 60s vibe going on, I would grab these guys up in a heart beat.  Pretty cool.  Just not what I am looking for.

And then we have another table made out of a cart or farm equipment or something.  I couldn't figure it out.  I also can't quite understand why.

And this last one.  Well, I don't really know what to say about it.  Suffice it to say, that if Bruno had this one in the movie instead of the wagon wheel, he and Carrie Fisher might not have moved in together at all!

I can not envision a tackier coffee table than that one!  Heee!!!
